“”Spiritual Manifestation is the theory that through regular meditation and positive, constructive thought, you can make your dreams and desires become reality. Spiritual manifestation revolves around the New Age concept of the Law of Attraction. This idea has recently been popularized in American media by such things as the book “The Secret” and the sitcom “My Name Is Earl”. Simplified down to a single statement, the Law of Attraction states that think and act in a positive way, good thing will happen to you, but if your think and act negatively, bad things will happen to you.

This concept has been around a long, long time, from the ancient Hindu concept of “karma” to its many modern forms such as “Positive Thinking”, “Mental Science”, “Pragmatic Christianity”, “Religious and/or Divine Science”, and “Practical Metaphysics”.

There is a significant difference between these practices, however, and spiritual manifestation. While many of these practices aim for vague, random “positive things” to happen to you (as karma often does to comic effect in “My Name Is Earl”), it is aims for much more targeted, specific results to make your dreams and desires come true.

Spiritual manifestation holds that if you really want something and truly believe it’s possible, it will happen. On the other hand, if you dwell on what you don’t want to happen, giving it lots of thought and attention, that will probably happen, too.

HOW DOES SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATION WORK?

Spiritual manifestation operates on three levels: the spiritual, the psychological, and the physical. Each level requires its own explanation.

On the spiritual level, it is believed that thoughts have an energy of their own, which attracts whatever the person is thinking of. This energy itself is neither positive nor negative-it simply is. In order to harness this energy to your benefit, one must practice for things:

1. Know what you want.
2. Ask the universe for it.
3. Feel and behave as if the object of your desire is on its way.
4. Be open to receiving it.

On the psychological level, spiritual manifestation is considered a form of the “self-fulfilling prophecy”. If one is convinced their dreams and desires are unattainable, they will only make a half-hearted attempt, be overly receptive to any obstacles as a signs of impending failure, and eventually become discouraged and give up.

On the other hand, if one is convinced their dreams and desires are attainable, even inevitable, they will react differently. They will throw themselves into the task, working hard to achieve their dream. They will view obstacles only as temporary setbacks, a Stumbling Block rather than a Road Block, and view any sign of success as prove that their dreams are slowly becoming reality.

Finally, on a physical level, advocates of spiritual manifestation point to a potential scientific explanation for how this works. Scientifically, human thought is just a biochemical process of neurons being transferred between different synapses in the brain. However, this transfer of neurons creates an electrical current-tiny, sure, but measurable.

This electrical current also generates a tiny magnetic field. Keep in mind the brain has tens of thousands of synapses firing at any one time.

Proponents of spiritual manifestation argue that these electrical and magnetic waves carry content, not just meaningless static, although we do not yet have to tool to measure and confirm this theory. Advocates of spiritual manifestation argue that through mental training and meditation, people can control their thoughts, and thus the bio-chemical and bio-magnetic energy emitted by their brain waves. Although this has not yet been proven, it is an interesting scientific theory.””

I fully intended to talk about Aliens in this article, but I realized that I had unintentionally omitted some of the most important material about spirit “communications” that I had intended to include in the article on Ghosts, Spirits and Aliens, so that will be our next subject and I will take this opportunity to add this to the preceding material as it should have been a part of it.

This is something that you will undoubtedly be interested in that I suppose falls under the category of “spirits” and that is communication between recently departed “survival personalities”, those who have recently died and those close to them still focused on the physical plane. It only makes sense that those communications are generally between those with very strong emotional feelings for each other, whether family members or others held close. The old adage that “Love is Eternal” is very true indeed.

Those kinds of communications do exist of course, and I wanted to point out a few things that might help in facilitating contacts with the deceased. You must remember that emotional values are the connective between you and any survival personality and they have not moved away from your reality so much in physical distance, but in psychological distance and that distance is immense in terms of separation. In terms of physical separation, they are as close as next your next door neighbor and it helps to remember that space is an illusion.

I realize that this is a concept that is hard to grasp, but remember, time and space as you apply it in your reality, simply doesn’t exist in the same way in other realities, so separation cannot be measured in terms of distance. In that respect, I can tell you that a survival personality can still observe you and your environment for some time after their death.

Usually, but not always, and each case is different, but usually after the survival personality has passed, there is an initial disorientation for them and some confusion and in some cases the personality may not even realize that he has passed since he will still have a physically appearing “astral” body. Now, don’t think for a minute that this subjective astral form is any less in quality than the physical form that you now have, it is just constructed differently. Remember that even your physical image is a camouflage, an overlay of your subjective form with atomic structure and is no more real than the astral body. It is only indicative of your specialized type of reality; the physical body is temporary and the inner image endures forever.

Once the survival personality has come to terms with his death, he will be met by other close friends, family and acquaintances that have gone before him and are more familiar with the new environment and will help him to adjust during the transition. This is hard to explain, in that these personalities will find themselves in a new dimension that does not recognize a time structure such as yours, yet, this place is a temporary environment and the survival personality will still remain aware of the time significance in the world from which it has recently departed for some time to come, but it simply will not place as much emphasis on times significance on events as you would in your world.

There is then, an optimum time when communications between survival personalities and their families or close friends still in physical reality, and that time is not immediately after the death, but after the personality has had some time to acclimate itself with its new surroundings. Immediately after death, there is usually some confusion, disorientation and also elation at re-uniting with old friends (and I mean really old friends), that the idea of communication with those left behind just doesn’t seem that pressing a matter.

It is important to know that these kinds of telepathic communications between realities cannot be forced to happen at will or imposed on anyone dead or alive, but will usually come as emotional intuitional surprises when least expected, in other words, these types of communications are usually accidental, sparked by emotional thought of the other person. So it is best to recognize the possibility of such contacts and keep your belief system open and flexible with high expectations, but not in any demanding or rigid way. Another very important thing is to “PAY ATTENTION”. These inter-dimensional messages take place quite frequently, but in such an innocuous way that they are usually missed by the intended receiver.

The survival personality will at some point be fully involved in planning a new life experience, either in your world or another so communication will usually take place before the personality begins to lose its affinity for the physical plane through involvement with its new business at hand. When the planning work is done, the details agreed upon, the personality will reincarnate while it still has a fondness for earth’s sunrises and sunsets, seas and forests, friends and family and identities usually choose to return for a new earth experience before one or two hundred years your time, of course by that time you wouldn’t be around to receive those communications anyway and your relative positions may be reversed by then. There is nothing except good sense that would keep an anxious identity from reincarnating within months after its previous death.

In answer to a question many may have, it is possible then, and has been documented countless times in your past, that a reincarnated personality, a new identity in physical terms, returns to a familiar, town or area and feels a certain familiarity with some of the same inhabitants that knew him in his last life. His past friends and family still alive, although all recall of that previous life would have been forgotten by the ego consciousness. Details of these circumstances can be recalled under hypnosis and have been well documented. This is not the usual case however, because the main reason for multiple lives on earth is to provide a variety of experience in new environments with new challenges, new racial and gender experience and not to keep repeating a carbon copy representation of a previous life.

For any identity to wait any longer than a hundred years to reincarnate, the desire for earthly physical existence could wane to the point that physical life would begin to lose its attraction. So the ideal time for you to make contact with a survival personality would be between a few weeks after the passing up to a few years after, and remember, in the after death plane, beginnings and endings, cause and effect and time based appointments have little meaning. If the interval is longer the personality would have most likely moved on to other interests and possibly even another life on earth or even another dimension entirely and from that new platform, communications would be almost impossible. Communications are best made then while the personality is still in the psychic neighborhood.

Survival personalities will not speak their communications with words using tongues and lips as you might expect. They communicate of course, telepathically, by sending complete thought concepts, so these messages from beyond, will come in flashes of instant knowing. It is important to understand that you can’t force these communications; they will come spontaneously, like a small explosion or instant illumination and sometimes at very strange and unexpected times.

These personalities have an advantage that you don’t have, at least for some time in that they can see you even though you can’t see them, so they know what is going on with you and your life for some time after physical death and they are interested in communicating with you. You can communicate your feelings through the use of thought-words, but emotional feelings will be paramount in the contacts and there is usually a deep desire to initiate these contacts by the survival personality, to assure those left behind that everything is just fine with them. It is quite true to say that death is easier on the person doing the dying than it is on the ones left behind.

I have said this before and I know it is hard for some to believe, but no one has ever died who was not ready to die. Death is not forced on anyone, but is a necessary progression, a step taken, the reasons well known by the inner self and soul. When the identity cannot handle any more data in one lifetime, when all challenges have been met and experienced in one way or another, then the available energy previously made available by the soul/entity decreases, the entity loses interest and turns its attention in other directions, causing the physical image to blur in its materialized form, exposing weaknesses and lessening psychic focus never before experienced.

You know how I love analogies, so imagine if you will, what happens when you overload your computer with too much data, it shuts down, so in other words, the personality over his lifetime reaches a point where he essentially experiences an overload of data and switches into a minimum maintenance mode, sensing that no more real progress can be gained in this one lifetime, and there is a lessening of purpose within the personality. The personality therefore sensing that no real beneficial creativity or progress will be made, shuts down “temporarily” and hits the “Reset Button”. There is no such thing as failure in any lifetime, just some things not yet fully explored; they will be explored again and again until you get the right answers, and there are many more reset buttons to push.

The famous baseball player Yogi Berra once said “It ain’t over till it’s over”, and in cosmic terms, “It ain’t ever over.” There are more lives waiting in the wings.

Our past lives can affect our lives in many ways. One reason we may want to experience past life regression is for the benefits of learning about things that have happened in the past. There are sometimes past problems that can have deep lasting effects on our present life. By working out the problems using past life regression, the changes can be an immense help.

The ability to access your past life is available to everyone. Many people believe that you have to go to someone to find out about past lives. The truth is you can do this for yourself. When you learn how to do this you will be able to explore your past in the privacy of your own home.

Usually an exercise that will get you ready to explore your past life will have to be practiced for a period of time. This will allow you to get the most out of your past life regression experience. Patience is one of the keys to learning how to do this as well as the desire.

You must relax your body and mind so that you are receptive to the past life experiences. Your whole focus should be on doing only this when starting. The more times you do this the deeper you will be able to go within yourself. This is the result that you want because this helps you to get the answers you need.

You may either lie down or sit – whichever is more comfortable for you. If you do sit up however, you must be comfortably seated and relaxed. The exercise to relax you has to be done in a totally quiet place and where no one will bother you. But remember to do so when you have had a good night’s rest so you can stay awake.

Asking your spiritual guides or whatever you believe in to be with you while you are regressing is another aspect. Ask them to stay with you and protect you. You should not take this exercise past 45 minutes. The best way to remind yourself is to set the timer on your watch or a clock where it will help you to remember.

Choose a reason for regressing. It may be that you are searching for answers to certain questions. It could also be what you need to see or what you are here to accomplish. When doing this exercise, you must be totally relaxed so make sure every part of your body is in a relaxed state. The journey to your inner self will be your objective. Imagine a door at the bottom of a set of stairs. Once you have descended the stairs you can make a choice. You can sit and rest for a little while or go on through the door which is the door to your past lives. But you do not have to enter it yet. If you want to save this for another time, that is perfectly fine.

The important thing is that you have gotten to the door and once you go through you will be entering the world of your past lives. This is the whole basis for the exercise. Learning how to relax to get to the door is half the battle. Everything you find from now on will only help you to understand why you who you are.

There are many ways that people regress to their past but one thing to remember is that everyone is unique. The things you learn and the person you see as you will be helpful to you when it comes to learning how to handle your present life.
